According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, at least ten Palestinians have died and several more have been injured. The raid, according to the Israeli Defence Forces, was essential to "dismantle" terrorist infrastructure, apprehend individuals, and seize weapons utilised by militant organisations who use the camp as a base of operations.
The operation in the camp, which is heavily populated by civilians, comes at a time when internal pressure is mounting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take decisive action in response to a wave of recent attacks against Israeli West Bank settlements that have originated from Jenin, including a recent shooting.

What is the context of Israel's operation in Jenin?
Since the violence started to pick up in the spring of 2022, the Jenin camp and a nearby town of the same name have served as a hotspot between Israelis and Palestinians. Additionally, Jenin has always been a significant source of conflict. Israel began a significant operation in the camp during the most recent Palestinian uprising in 2002 in response to a Palestinian suicide bombing that took place during a sizable Passover gathering in Israel and left 30 people dead. After Israel and Arab countries' 1948–1949 conflict, the camp was established. According to UNRWA, the United Nations organisation for Palestinian refugees, Jenin is home to roughly 14,000 people. The size of the region is less than a quarter mile.
Israel claims it began its most recent operation in Jenin because the Palestinian Authority, the political body in charge of the West Bank's civilian areas (Israel's military is in charge of the rest), is unable to maintain peace and keep some militants from using the camp as a base from which to organise and carry out attacks against Israelis.
According to the Israeli army, those who wished to leave Jenin were free to do so. As many as 3,000 people had gone before midnight, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent rescue agency, and they anticipated that the exodus would continue. Many camp residents, according to UNRWA, require food, water, and milk powder. Conflicts have severely harmed the camp's water and electricity networks.
There could be political factors at work. A wide military response to the continuous violence in the region has been demanded by prominent members of Netanyahu's far-right administration, which is dominated by West Bank settlers and their sympathisers, notably in the wake of the June 20 massacre that left four people dead in the Jewish town of Eli. Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's National Security Minister and an ultranationalist who recently demanded that Israel murder tens of thousands of terrorists if necessary, tweeted on Monday, "Proud of our heroes on all fronts and this morning especially of our soldiers operating in Jenin." "Wishing them success."
A more than a year-long increase in violence that has witnessed some of the worst incidents has resulted in the deaths of more than 130 Palestinians in the West Bank this year.
Tuesday, as the military operation in Jenin went on, at least five people were hurt in a suspected car-ramming incident in Israel's beachside metropolis Tel Aviv. According to Israeli authorities, the criminal was "neutralised." If the conflict continued, the extremist organisation Islamic Jihad, which has a sizable presence in Jenin, threatened to launch strikes from its headquarters in the Gaza Strip. Threats were also made by Hezbollah, a terrorist organisation in Lebanon, which said that the Palestinians had "many alternatives and means that will make the enemy regret its acts." In 2006, Hezbollah engaged in a month-long conflict with Israel. In the 1967 Middle East conflict, Israel seized control of the West Bank, east Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians are looking for such areas for their future sovereign state.
